Glo cautions public against fraudsters

It has come to the attention of the Management of Glo Mobile Ghana that certain individuals or group of persons, purporting to be staff of Glo, have posted fictitious adverts on the internet and elsewhere, targeting unsuspecting job-seekers with promises of employment at Glo Mobile Ghana.

The said adverts demand a fee of GHC100, paid via rapid transfer from applicants into an Ecobank Account, supposedly to facilitate documentation for a so called three-month training program in London and also to cover the cost of courier charges for a free ‘Tablet Computer’.

The Management of Glo Mobile Ghana hereby strongly advices job-seekers and the general public to desist from dealing with such faceless individuals since their activities are unauthorized, unlawful and criminal.

Glo Mobile Ghana has no such E-mail address as ‘JOBS.GLOGHANA@qualityservice.com’ and neither does the company has a Dr. or Mr. David Coker in its HR Department or its entire staff list, as the fraudsters claim. The Management of Glo HAS NOT authorized any individual, group of individuals or any agency to recruit new staff on its behalf.

Indeed, on Friday, July 12 and thereafter, Glo Mobile Ghana put out an official advertisement in the newspapers, announcing new job openings in our business. A full-page advert was published which elaborately outlined specific vacancies currently available and which also directed that all prospective applicants must address their applications and inquiries to jobs4u@glomobileghana.

In the best interest of the public, our Security Unit is working closely with the security agencies to bring the perpetrators of this vile scam to book. Much in the same light, we urge all those who have had contact or dealings with the fraudsters not to hesitate to report their experience to the nearest police station. Management uses this opportunity to stress that Glo Mobile Ghana is determined to build a robust and indigenous African telecommunications network and will not permit such miscreant and distractive activities to obliterate its focus on that mission.
